Just a point of information - the British Library is glad to welcome Cilip members, but you do need to make sure that you have ID with your address on it (as well as your signature - which will be on your cilip card, of course) when you come for a reader's pass. For more details, see the BL's admissions page at: http://www.bl.uk/services/reading/admissions.html You can of course come and see the current and permanent exhibitions of the BL's treasures, visit the Café, Restaurant and Bookshop without needing a reader's pass. Even though I'm biased, I do recommend it - Cathy Walters British Library -----Original Message----- From: Satu Nieminen [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 08 November 2004 14:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: CILIP effectiveness Quite a while ago the British Library took over the LA book collection and now houses them at St Pancras. This means all CILIP members get a reader's pass to BL by showing their membership card - no questions asked. I think this provides CILIP members with some compensation for not having a dedicated LIS at CILIP. I cannot comment on the usefulness of the information service now provided at CILIP premises as I have never used it. My loss, I believe. ..............................................................
